Christ a Merciful High Priest.

WITH joy we meditate the grace Of our High Priest above: His heart is full of tenderness; His bosom glows with love.

Touched with a sympathy within, He knows our feeble frame; He knows what sore temptations mean, For he has felt the same.

He, in the days of feeble flesh, Poured out his cries and tears, And in his measure feels afresh What every member bears.

Then let our humble faith address His mercy and his power; We shall obtain deliv'ring grace In each distressing hour.
